Kapiolani park

For a casual walk
Or a quiet nap
Under the silent shadowy trees

Laughter and happiness echo
Everywhere
Contagious in the bright sunshine

A pair of girls chatting
While circling the park
For a scenic walk

Patches of thick grass
Frame a lonely man
Napping in the shade

The sun casts a beaming arm of sunshine
Over the peaceful park
Smiling
